New Mexico
By Hannah G. You should visit New Mexico today! This guide will tell you what to wear, where to go, state symbols, and interesting facts no one knows.
First of all, you should know what to wear. In the summer you should bring shorts and t-shirts because the temperatures vary from 90°F to 60°F. In the winter you would need jeans and a sweater because the temperatures vary from 50°F to 25°F. All year round you will not need raincoats and snow clothes because only 10in to 20in of rain and snow fall each year. You might want to bring hiking boots to hike in New Mexico’s tall mountains and deep canyons.
Second of all, you should know where to go. In the northeastern part of New Mexico you can visit Capulin Volcano. It is a volcano you can walk inside. You can also visit Santa Rosa, a beautiful 81 foot pool. In the southeastern part of the state you can go to Carlsbad Carverns National park. There you can go into one of the world’s longest cave systems. You can also visit Rosewell International UFO Museum and Research Center. In the southwestern part of the state you can visit Elephant Butle Reserve. There you can swim and fish in the state’s second largest lake. In the northwest part of the state you can visit Native American pueblos and buy pottery, jewelry and blankets.
Third of all, one should know some of the state symbols. First, is the state animal, the black bear and the state bird great Road Runner. Also the state grass is Blue Gramma Grass and the Bizochite is the state cookie. Another state symbol is the Tracheal hawk wasp.
Finally, I want to talk about some fascinating facts. One cool fact is New Mexico is home to the world’s largest hot air balloon festival. An amazing population fact is that there are more sheep than people. Another interesting fact about New Mexico is that Georgia O’keffe, the famous painter, was from New Mexico. Another famous native, Henry MaCarty, who was a famous outlaw was from New Mexico, too.
In conclusion, New Mexico is a great state. I hope this guide has helped you learn what to wear, what to do and fascinating facts before you go. Have a great trip!
